Laying The Blame

Where would I find Thomas Sowell's remedies for America?

And if you can answer that, where would I find the evidence that any of Sowell's remedies work?
 
In their tireless thirst for power, Liberals/Democrats lay the groundwork for the end of America.

The divide-and-conquer, the grievance doctrines, the 'blame-America-first' methodology is aimed at keeping Americans glaring at each other.

1. Black Americans, contrary to the view that they are inferior to other groups, as advanced by Liberals, were actually about to advance along the same path as other Americans.....until they were 'helped out.'

a. It was the misfortune of black Americans that they were just on the verge of passing through the immigrant experience when damaging ideas about welfare and the lenient attitude about crime took hold. It could have happened to the Italians, Germans, Jews or Irish, but luckily for them, there were no Liberals around to “help” when they arrived. Coulter, "Mugged," chapter 7

b. In fact, black Americans were doing better in individual pursuits than many immigrants. Barone compared their American journey to the Irish: “Both rise smartly in hierarchies (government bureaucracies, the military) but haven't fared as well in free-market commerce.” http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/941114/archive_013670.htm




2. But Liberal welfare policies, clear failures, have provided not a safety net, but a weakening of the attempt by black Americans to fight their way to the top. And....instead of accepting the so-sorely-deserved blame, Liberals point to the ephemeral 'legacy of slavery.'

"Discussions of racial problems almost invariably bring out the cliche of "a legacy of slavery."
....whether fatherless children, crime or whatever -...

The great Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catch phrase could stop thinking for fifty years. Catch phrases about slavery have stopped people from thinking, even longer than that.

3..... the moral horror of slavery is so widely condemned that it is hard to realize that there were thousands of years when slavery was practiced around the world by people of virtually every race.

[Not] Africans, Asians, Polynesians nor the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere saw anything wrong with slavery, even after small segments of British and American societies began to condemn slavery as morally wrong in the 18th century.

What was special about America was not that it had slavery, which existed all over the world, but that Americans were among the very few peoples who began to question the morality of holding human beings in bondage.





4. ... the "legacy of slavery" as an explanation of social problems in black American communities today, anyone who was serious about the truth -- as distinguished from talking points -- would want to check out the facts.
Were children raised with only one parent as common at any time during the first 100 years after slavery as in the first 30 years after the great expansion of the welfare state in the 1960s?

As of 1960, 22 percent of black children were raised with only one parent, usually the mother. Thirty years later, two-thirds of black children were being raised without a father present."

Hmmmm......no mention of any of the facts in my OP.

Instead....a feeble attempt to belittle your betters.

Perhaps an adult will aid you in obtaining a library card.

So you're capable of posting here, with an interminable litany of complaints, and can name drop Thomas Sowell in the process,

but you are wholly incapable of even citing a few sentences from Sowell that might suggest some viable remedies to the problems he, and you,

are pissing and moaning about.

Gee, color me shocked.

She doesn't work, and has little incentive to because someone else pays the bills.

In a perverse way, she might actually be a living example in support of her argument.



Another embittered Liberal with no ability to address the facts in a thread to which it has voluntarily subscribed.

Instead, posts about my favorite subject......me.


But....I can understand your jealousy of my financial wealth....and my wealth of knowledge.

Suffer.

I don't need rent control because my home is paid for. I win.

In their tireless thirst for power, Liberals/Democrats lay the groundwork for the end of America.

The divide-and-conquer, the grievance doctrines, the 'blame-America-first' methodology is aimed at keeping Americans glaring at each other.

1. Black Americans, contrary to the view that they are inferior to other groups, as advanced by Liberals, were actually about to advance along the same path as other Americans.....until they were 'helped out.'

a. It was the misfortune of black Americans that they were just on the verge of passing through the immigrant experience when damaging ideas about welfare and the lenient attitude about crime took hold. It could have happened to the Italians, Germans, Jews or Irish, but luckily for them, there were no Liberals around to “help” when they arrived. Coulter, "Mugged," chapter 7

b. In fact, black Americans were doing better in individual pursuits than many immigrants. Barone compared their American journey to the Irish: “Both rise smartly in hierarchies (government bureaucracies, the military) but haven't fared as well in free-market commerce.” http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/941114/archive_013670.htm




2. But Liberal welfare policies, clear failures, have provided not a safety net, but a weakening of the attempt by black Americans to fight their way to the top. And....instead of accepting the so-sorely-deserved blame, Liberals point to the ephemeral 'legacy of slavery.'

"Discussions of racial problems almost invariably bring out the cliche of "a legacy of slavery."
....whether fatherless children, crime or whatever -...

The great Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catch phrase could stop thinking for fifty years. Catch phrases about slavery have stopped people from thinking, even longer than that.

Hmmmm......no mention of any of the facts in my OP.

Instead....a feeble attempt to belittle your betters.

Must be the pain I administered in the other thread, huh?

How many times do you have to be told that stringing together a collection of irrelevant facts in no way makes a valid argument?



Seems that every day I must teach you vocabulary.

Within the context of your post, you must have meant "painful."

Your 'facts' don't make an argument.

If I say the AID's epidemic exploded when Reagan was president, and you say Reagan had nothing to do with it,

and I reply that you have nothing to refute my FACT,

I would be arguing like you argue.



Post #17 is for you, as well.

What do you say, Liberal......as none of the homes in the study are populated by former slaves.....what is your explanation?

If you want to argue that welfare causes poverty, go ahead. Make the case.

The case centers on cause and effect.

Show where welfare causes poverty where it would have otherwise not occurred.
 
a piece of evidence that is jaw-dropping about what Liberal policies have to to black Americans.

Ooooh, I cant wait to hear this reheated pile of bunk from 40 years ago



When I saw the following study....I was shocked.

Let's see what you make of it.


Both Liberal welfare policies and Liberal propaganda ('the legacy of slavery) have persuaded large segments of the black population that they need not take the steps that lead out of poverty......rather, they cannot....and only big government programs will save them.


Here is the amazing consequence of half a century of indoctrination:




Overall, white homes had 2.5 times as many books as black homes.

But the most surprising finding is that the top quintile of black homes reported having fewer books (69) than the bottom quintile of white homes (71).

Whites get the same means tested benefits as do blacks. Case closed.

She'll never accept or understand that fact.

Like most other conservatives she has nothing but contempt for facts, the truth, reason, logic, and critical thinking skills – all of which conflict errant rightwing dogma the OP and other rightists blindly adhere to.

Slavery has nothing to do with what I said. Ask one of your intelligent friends to explain it to you, if you have any.
